Van Laeck amps take inspiration from the legendary Dumble circuits—but they’re far from copies. Each model captures that elusive Dumble magic: lush cleans that feel like a lead tone, a powerful yet articulate low end, rich harmonic content, soaring overdrive, and of course, stunning aesthetics. Every amp is proudly designed and hand-built in the Netherlands, using only the highest quality components available.

The Van Laeck King Leo is the blackface-style amp you've always dreamed of. You're probably familiar with that iconic blackface tone—bold, clean, bright, and scooped—but the King Leo takes it further. It features Dumble's famous FET circuit for a clean boost that pushes the amp into new territory. It can stay sweet and glassy, or dig in and deliver a raw, expressive growl when pushed.

The King Leo T delivers around 15 watts of tube power and is equipped with a Jupiter Ceramic 12LC 50-watt speaker. It comes stock with a pair of JJ 6V6 power tubes and a 5Y3GT tube rectifier, offering vintage dynamics and touch sensitivity in a perfectly portable package.
